god, imagine if come the general election the lib dems become the opposition lmao. i mean, labour are literally more right-wing than like cameron tories but i need to draw some joy from all this hehe
It would be very funny! 😂
Starmer’s Labour is gross. I've been seeing Green voters talking about having had to hold their noses to tactically vote Labour, so at the very least all those folks will then be able to revert to voting Green.
I think this is the way it's got to happen — as long as parliament is a two horse race the Tories aren't going anywhere fast, but that means if they do hit third place they might never recover. It's happened before to other parties. Can't see that happening this time around, but given we're so deep in "Labour Wins By Doing Nothing" territory, I reckon the current crop of venal buttons are going to really struggle to convince people that life is worse under Labour and in opposition they won't have the resources to be effectively corrupt. They're realistically going to be out of power for at least a decade so it's just about possible they could fall into irrelevance before they win another election. They'll need another Cameron, and who knows if the reasonable-sounding Tories can mount a takeover before the Trump-style ones burn the whole project down 🤷
Oh, I would love it if the setback to the Tories is generational! They've done so much damage that will take so long to undo or recover from. And I would love it if Tory in-fighting couldn't harm anything outside their miserable party - since Tory in-fighting is how we wound up with Brexit. Now if only the British public can hold the anti-Tory grudge long enough, maybe, just maybe something new might come through.
The British are terrible at a lot of things but "holding a grudge" has never been one of them. I guess two party politics works around that a bit because the grudges kind of cancel out, but maybe nobody's pushed it this far before?
I think a general cynicism about politics or politicians makes people suffer fools in charge (from any party) far longer than should be the case. And I think conservatism with a small "c" also plays a big role in that.
On the other hand, there was a graph going round on British Bluesky at one point showing NHS waiting lists the last time we were under a Labour government, and then the trend of those since the Tories have been in charge. The difference was stark.
There's no way that most people haven't felt some kind of impact to daily lives, even if we leave out the cost of living crisis. That coupled with a sense of the Tories being rich wankers who are out of touch with ordinary folks, being corrupt... I don't know how bad it has to get before people get fed up enough to want them gone for good, if not a very long time. Maybe it's finally bad enough?
To me, this is cinema.
(Hoping the 3rd act deals with Labour being shit though)
i miss the funny gnome man who thought nuclear first-strikes were bad actually
